Some eye-opening numbers

[MountaineerCowboy]

And people accuse you of not being a Cowboys fan!

I can see past the star.

It's a gift.

This validates what MM has said.......we are moving the ball/no team has been able to stop our offense. The problem is we are not finishing drives with TDs but a lot of FGs.
BTW......where does our FG kicker rank in points? Gotta be near the top

Jake Elliott and Brandon Aubrey have made 13 FG's and 9 XP's. They are tied at the top. Aubrey has not missed a FG. Elliott has missed one FG at +50 yards, but is 4-5 from 50+ overall. Both have missed one XP. Elliott's average FG length is considerably longer. Shows how much we don't score TD's in the red zone. Seven of Aubrey's FG's are from 20-29 yards. Only two of Aubrey's FG's are from 40+ yards.

At least they were for me. I wanted to see where Dallas ranked in points scored given their red zone struggles. Surprisingly, they still rank 4th league wide with 124 points, just a point behind San Francisco.

I think the defense has definitely helped in those numbers.

Defensively, they’re 1st in the league, having given up just 41 points. And that’s despite the inexplicable no-show against Arizona.

If this huge differential holds up, I think it bodes very well the rest of the season.

Another one... In our three wins, the defense has held the opponents to just 13 points while scoring three touchdowns.
The D is outscoring opponents by themselves in our wins.

It's one thing to see the possibility of losing, or even expecting to lose. But when you seem hopeful for a loss every single week, that's well beyond the "objective" mindset you think you're portraying.

Is it all just because of Dak, or do you just do it for the "shock value"?

You've never been told that?

Simply existing and just being average is sad.

You mistake being hopeful with being realistic.

The 49ers are better almost everywhere and they're at home.

I don't hope we lose at all, but I'm also not afraid to admit that I fully expect us to lose.

I find it likely too, but I'm not trying to make anyone else feel foolish for thinking we might win. That's where you seem to be.

Also, it's not unrealistic to expect the Cowboys to win either. The offense has been disappointing, but it's far from a foregone conclusion that they'll never get it together, especially now that the O-line is healthier than it's been in a while.

I'm a told ya so kinda person.

If you got spoken to the way I do here you would see why I rub it in when I'm right.

 

[Stash]

somebody did similar analysis and taking away defensive and special teams points, we ranked #10.

And here I thought all the points counted.

More good news.

Lol... yeah there is definite agenda there.
Their goal wad to knock offense and secondarily yo knock Dak by default. They pointed to how defense put offense in good position until imprinted yo them Bills are #1 in turnover and points. SF is one spot behind Cowboys. But yeah only our offense benefits. Too funny

 

[Ekspozed]

Ya'll gonna be in here tonight like "what happened?".

And I'll be like "Playing a good team happened".

Arizona taught ya'll nothing and they suck.

And when the Cowboys win youll be a sad boy.

Awwwww

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Helps to have a kicker who has accounted for 100 of those points....

Offense has to get the kicker in range to make the kick.

It's insane how guys are trying to discredit parts of the team.

It's a team, you need all 3 phases. Win as a team, lose as a team. One isn't more important than the other

 

[CCBoy]

The RZ woes are real but the team is getting there nearly every offensive possession.
That makes the defense better and rested. And the rested defense gets the ball back to the offense fast.
There is a reason Dallas is winning games by 20+ even when they are not efficiently scoring TDs in the RZ.

The talents are there for Dallas to take possession and establish momentums tonight.

I’m confused….so Arizona is a good team
Now?

They're real but they have not affected not one game really and they're not really woes a couple drop passes a couple penalties were literally right there

show me the Eagles I I don't know where they rank but I know they're only about three spots ahead of us meaning they're not doing well in the red zone either nobody's talking about it why does everyone have to talk about the Cowboys issues without bringing up the Eagles issues???? We literally have not needed to open the offense up or didn't have the ability and with the Cardinals because the defense was bad and also three missing offensive lineman yeah that affects the game so we've had so many blowouts so many weird games that we really haven't seen this offense really function the way it was designed when we're actually need to score more points quicker bigger plays all that kind of stuff I believe it's there..
